Not sure if this should be a new post but I'm in the same situation of trying to revive some older WHFB with friends and was hoping to get some insight into editions.
I collected but didn't get to play nearly as much as I'd like, and I'm going to be taking point on the rules for our group. I was collecting the tail end of 5th, and then through 6th and 7th.
Was leaning 7th since it seemed to be a touch up on 6th more than an overhaul, and using 7e ABs where possible. I'm a touch more familiar with the rules of 6th but I'd love to get some thoughts on what is recommended. We'll have lists ranging from warband-250 to 2000-2500 point matches, with Empire, Orcs, Beasts, VC and Lizards as options - so all armies have a 7e book.
Any recs on what edition/ABs are best to use?
